Legal Literacy Volunteers
Legal Literacy Volunteers help people fill out forms, find the right information at the right time and generally provide a confidential, safe local service when they need it. Trained individual local (non-legal) volunteers work with local clients in their own communities to address issues BEFORE they require legal advice or intervention. The LCLC as a not-for-profit organisation provides free legal advice to the community in a variety of areas and our Legal Literacy Volunteers are supported by, and have access to, our solicitors should the need arise. Legal Literacy Volunteers are our ambassadors in their community and aim to foster community awareness of the law, making access to legal assistance more equitable and accessible to the community.

Community legal centres provide free legal advice, information and representation to around 5000 Tasmanians each year.
Their focus is on providing legal services to the socially and financially disadvantaged who in many cases are unable to access other legal services.
